How to replace a 72 pin connector for the NES Nintendo System

A Step By Step Video on how to replace the 72 pin connector. It is really easy all that you need is a screwdriver. This will in most cases fix the blue or blinking screen issue that old NES systems tend to have. It's important to clean your cartridges before using them with the new connector. Otherwise you may end up having the same issue sooner than you would expect.

You have to check this out! Kutiman re-mixes youtube

I was floored when I saw this. Kutiman re-mixes unsuspecting peoples youtube videos to create some great music. This is one of those great concepts that usually would fall short in some regard. Every aspect of this is amazing including the music. The project is called ThruYOU, Here is the link...

Circuit Bent Commodore 64 C64 With Optical Filter for Cynthcart

Here are a couple vids of my C64 Mod that is for Cynthcart. The cartridge was obtained from www.atariage.com however they don't seem to stock it anymore. So the next step was to do a mod for the Prophet 64 cartridge that looks just amazing. Guess what that has been discontinued. All for a good cause I suppose as they are developing a new product called "Mssiah" that will give you midi control. Check it out here http://www.mssiah.com/

Anyone with existing Cynthcart cartridges that want a mod done feel free to contact me.

Thanks

Circuit bent Casio SK-1

This is my first bend of the ever famous Casio SK-1. I can see why people love bending this keyboard it is pretty diverse and crazy sounding at times.

4 Step Sequencer DIY synth

This is a very fun and attractive 4 step sequencer. The stain is a warm dark red color that goes amazing with the blue LEDs. Each step has a fine and coarse tune knob to control the pitch. The speed or BPM of the sequencer is controlled by the knob at the top left. You have the option to toggle between 4 steps (notes), 3 steps, or 2 step patterns. Each step has the option of being turned off also. The 4 LEDs at the bottom indicate the place in sequence that is currently being played. The whole thing runs off a 9v battery and has a 1/4 inch output jack that can be plugged into a guitar amp or anything that will accept a 1/4 jack.
Keep in mind this is a build intended to appeal to circuit benders and synth people alike. This may not act like your usual store bought sequencer. That is the great part about it. There are sounds you can create with this that no other product is capable of. Currently for sale at
